How can I replace the value in the getstring for parameter partNumber= **a100** with whatever the user typed into the search box.

[http://www.stockmarket.aero/StockMarket/SearchActionR.do?partNumber=a100&communityName=BLUE&partial=true&theAction=search](http://www.stockmarket.aero/StockMarket/SearchActionR.do?partNumber=a100&communityName=BLUE&partial=true&theAction=search)

AS3 Code

var link:URLRequest=new URLRequest(“[http://www.stockmarket.aero/StockMarket/SearchActionR.do?partNumber=a100&communityName=BLUE&partial=true&theAction=search](http://www.stockmarket.aero/StockMarket/SearchActionR.do?partNumber=a100&communityName=BLUE&partial=true&theAction=search)” + search\_txt.text);  
search\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);  
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void  
{  
navigateToURL(link);  
}
